Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.43.0] [Selebus]

[DSasha]

As for our dear Akira - that's a whole other can of worms, that I maybe will open after another drink. Which is like in 15 minutes.

I would say you to consider his unusual situation before talking of him, but seeing how he's being the same and even worse after all he have learned about the world he is in... Yeah I almost lost all hopes I had in him.

But I still think that:
1. He is a person who has been abused on so many levels.
2. His emotions have been removed by god or whatever that controls this world
3. A lot of his actions are a result of his self despise
4. This world NEEDS he to fuck his students, this version of Sensei we are seeing has come so far only because this version is the only that have done what is needed for this world to keep it moving forward.


But well, he has done nothing but dissappoint me lately, I think by now that all of this is just what I want to believe and not what I really think

I'm considering going for a psychiatry residency so I like these topics a lot, they are maybe just VN characters but I spend a lot of time trying to understand them,

Не, я без наезда, если ты в этом лучше шаришь. Окей.

Кстати, а что ты думаешь про СДВ у Кирин?

У неё нет СДВ. Там много тараканов, но я их пока оформить в голове не могу. Позже распишу про неё.

Alrighty, so. Akira.

It's gonna be a bit long, so I'll spoiler things that can be collapsed.

Also, bear in mind, that I'm not Sel and this is just my opinion, perspective and view on this character.

Early days.

And then the resets came. And all his thought, all his self-reflection that was getting him somewhere, all his experience, pain, misery, emotions and memories got wiped. All that's left was his resolve to fuck some girls.


And that's my thoughts on Akira pre-game and at the start of the game. If any of you find that interesting, I'll write a similar rant post about his present self, three chapters in.

I'm considering going for a psychiatry residency

I just want to say that I'm a medicine student, and with this I meant that maybe would like to study psychiatry (You need to be a medical doctor first), but now that i read this again maybe i worded it wrong lol, just language barrier and stuff.

And as a person currently living with uncurable endogenic depression, let me tell you, what comes with it. You start reflecting on yourself. You start looking inward for something to justify your condition. Something that you did wrong, something that will carry you on your vicious cycle of self-loathing. And boy, oh boy, did he find it. He found so much GUILT, that up to this day he is geniunly surprised when someone likes him.

As a person living with exact the same thing I can guarantee this is 100% true, first time i wrote about this I was afraid that maybe I was just projecting myself in that Akira side, and now seeing someone saying kinda the same I feel relief



Man I loved everything you wrote, I thought very similar things but I would have never been able to express it that well, first because my English is not that good, and second because I do not have that much knowledge yet, I speak above all from my own experience and the little that I have been able to see in other patients.
And also because I have a really bad time trying to explain myself lol

Riiight. Imma just chime in with a little of my psychology background. This is a oneshot post, so I'm not really up for a lengthy discussion, but feel free to answer. I might have the time to respond.

Nodoka IS a sociopath.

Spoiler: Why?

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Ami CAN be called a psychopath. But it's too broad of a term, calling someone a psychopath is like calling someone mentally ill. So I'm gonna be more specific. Essentially, psychopathy stands for "Personality Disorder". And Nodoka, for example, can also be called a psychopath by that definition. I believe that Ami has a Borderline Personality Disorder. Here's where definitions become kinda conflicting in English-language definitions. Someone calls it "Borderline Psychopathy", someone calls it "BPD". We're gonna stick with the BPD for the matter. So Ami is not PSYCHOPATH per se, but she can be called that.

Spoiler: Why?

I also have medical studies to back my shit up, so if you do want to prove me wrong - all power to you. But I will demand proof. Have a good day, gentlemen, ladies.

Interesting. Here I go:

The Ami stuff seems spot on though. I mean, of course, she's a little fucked up. It'd be weird if she wasn't, after watching her parents die, then taking care of her uncle, since she was 7.

According to Noriko in her 'Loxosceles Reclusa':

Maya apparently came around after the accident, and after ghosting Niki, not before. Besides that though, I think the rest is fine.

Maya also apparently had nowhere else to go, so it does seem like Pre Resets Sensei tried to take care of her:

Well, there are a lot of us here, hehe

Да я так, из официального дискорда Ру залетаю сюда.

Я в двух версиях читаю, несусветную чушь несёт один техасский мудак, который описывает то, что сам не знает и показывает то, чем это не является. К сожалению.

Random, but I wonder if Yumi is still scamming grade schoolers?:

Don't recall it coming up if she stopped or not.

 

[BudgetPro]

Honestly, I feel rather bored/tired of happy/weird events by now

it does feel like it has dragged on for too long without bringing enough substance. instead of plot it feels like filler

Thing is, mate, the timeframes for all those events are blurry at best and incomprehensible at worst. I know that Noriko and Maya are kinda in the same timeframe, but there's also Niki, Sekai, Ami, accident and all of that happened "some time ago". I wanna wait until we have some sort of stable ground to base our guesses upon, as to not get into discussions "what happened when" when we know fuck all about it. No jabs, btw, just observation.

Here I completely agree, because the timeline is generally the weak side of lil.

Does anyone have full 0.20-0.21 save? Played the game before but lost all of my saves now.

You can, pretty much, start new game since there was a rework that changed a good chunk of chapter 1. Just do it with 0x52 this time so that you can cheat a bit with love and lust values to avoid some of the useless grind.

Updated Niki's card with a Suit from 0.35
